· Bernardo OŽHiggins, the biggest National Park in Chile ·
 

Bernardo O´Higgins National Park


Bernardo O´Higgins National Park, with a total surface of 3.524.648 hectares, this is the biggest National Park in Chile.

By sailing along the Seno of Ultima Esperanza as far as the great Glaziers like Balmaceda and Serrano one can appreciate the woods, where hundreds of sea lions, frolicking on the rookeries and enormous quantities of cormorants with their open wings. Also, a journey that necessarily are made by means of small vessels from the pier of Puerto Natales.

The launch approaches Balmaceda glazier and then it stops at Serrano glazier, where one can get off board and walk in the woods as far as the lake front with floating icebergs. In the sector of Punta Barrosa near the cliff, condors and eagles flying over the foliages of the trees can be seen, besides knowing places where wolves abound.

Past Punta Naufragio on the left hand side is the way to Puerto Bellavista, and on the right hand side is Puerto Toro which is a small dockyard at the foot of Serrano Glazier.

Another interesting sea voyage is going as far as the Mountains Channel and knowing the unique beauty of Kirke pass and watching many glaziers.
